I suspect it's because mailing lists scale better for high traffic andare
easier to administer (no content backup needed, high traffic justslows down
delivery slightly, it doesn't kill access).
I detest them, too. Much prefer NNTP, but that seems to be way out of fashion.
gmane.org tracks a large number of mailing lists and puts them ontheir NNTP
server and their (hideous) web interface, but this listdoesn't seem to be one
of them.
